We don’t want any more drivers talking to the stewards about trying to get to service without four wheels on the car. This is a rally, if you want to cut a corner, cut it. If you don’t want to cut a corner then go circuit racing.”
I don't think Breen had the speed on this rally anyway. A careful aproach to avoid major problems might have been best for him on this rally.Quote:

What sort of tyres are Lindholm and Rossel on?
Amazing seeing those WRC2's faster. What a wonderful sport Rallying is!
Lindholm may get PS points in RC1?
Wrong tyres, but Lappi is just hopeless, when there is tricky conditions.
4 soft, 2 wet Lindholm.Quote:

So who had Lindholm for WRC powerstage point with RC2 car in their crystal ball prediction?
Wow Lindholm!
Cheers to Gus Lionheart! That is the spirit
...but why should rovanperä risk to loose all points when he knows he can't match tanaks pace because of wrong tyre choice, when you look on lindholms pace...Quote:

Credit after to GG after that scare early on in the rally... he has done ok and beaten Breen a few times.
... or correct tires for conditions beats incorrect tires for conditionsQuote:

Probably 6th I would say (except if mistake from one of top 5)
Not a full surprise to see him putting that type of time because he’s really fast, the matter is more about consistency. But probably one of two most interesting RC2 drivers with 3-4 RC2 years of experience with Rossel.
Did Pirelli have to make the WRC1 tyre so hard to handle the power of the hybrid cars? Seems combination of that and a muddy surface has made for a strange result on this stage.
Yes, at last Breen having a proper go !
Millener and M-Sport brass didn't applaud to Breen when he finished?
Neuville off !!!!
Neuville probkems.
Neuville massive off, but leaping to finish
Neuville's woes continue!
Lucky not to get stuck
No intercom either.
Puncture too ?!
What a rally!
2 punctures
only positive thing is that Lindholm is getting at least 1 PS point
Wow.. survived and in 3rd !
Two puncters, he got two spares right?
Neuville need to reach to service. And on time.
Never seen anything like this!!!!
